    Nice shop. I really like that huge toolbox with a top. I agree forklifts are a must have if you have the space to use them.

    Where I'm at over 5 acres you can get farm plates on your vehicles which allows you to break all kinds of vehicle codes legally because your truck becomes a farm implement...and as long as what you're doing is "farm related" you can't get a ticket (I mean you can easily beat a ticket) for bald tires or lights out or broken windshield or no trailer plates... things like that. Thanks for sharing glad I found you on one eye customs channel. Your shop is awesome

    • @buildlife
      @buildlife  Рік тому +1

      Thanks, By us you have to file F on your taxes to really get the benefits but were in the middle of no where and don't have a police department so it's pretty rare to get any kind of ticket. Good thing there's not bank to rob!

    Awesome work space! Cheat codes to life such as the power washer by the doors, sheet goods stood-up but orthogonal to the wall, and other bits shown in the video are especially helpful for those looking to build their own. Lots of inspiration. Well done! Great video!

  • @justinrivers5397
    @justinrivers5397 11 місяців тому

    Im wondering if it might not be a good idea to have your grinding station right next to your air compressor. I would think the compressor would suck up a lot of the metal particles

    • @buildlife
      @buildlife  11 місяців тому

      Hasn't been a problem so far. Compressor has an air filter on it so it gets changed every year. Saw dust would be a concern too but every time I change it the filter doesn't look too bad.

    Hi I was wondering how you supported your I beam. Howard from vermont

    • @buildlife
      @buildlife  Рік тому

      Hey Howard, The bottom cord of each truss is a 2x6, I laid a double 2x12 on top of them directly above the beam. Then I drilled through the holes in the beam up and through the 2x12's and through bolted them with some thick washers so it hangs off the 2x12's. I figured it was too heavy to lag bolt especially if you lift anything heavy. We put the beam on a scissor lift (on the railings) and pushed it up to the ceiling to hold it while we bolted it. Thanks for watching!
